Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for recovering uranium values in an extractive reprocessing process for irradiated nuclear fuels.
- nuclear reactor fuel elements for recycling irradiated nuclear fuels have been dissolved, for example, in nitric acid and the uranium by liquid / liquid extraction, e.g. in the Purex process or in the amine extraction or in column-chromatographic separation operations, separated and worked up in nitric acid medium.
- the nitric acid recycling of nuclear fuels is a well-known and proven procedure.
- the fuel elements to be replaced are removed from the nuclear reactor and, for example, subjected to storage for one to three years to decay the shorter-lived fission products. Only after this period of storage are the fuel elements transported to the reprocessing plant, where they are broken up into relatively small pieces, from which the remaining fission material and the fission products formed, etc. are released with strong nitric acid.
- the resulting solution is then diluted and passed into a first column in the first extraction cycle of the process, in which an organic extractant solution for taking over the fissile materials uranium and plutonium and smaller amounts of other actinides and small amounts of fission products is passed in countercurrent to the aqueous dissolver solution.
- the aqueous, nitric acid effluent from the extraction column containing only very small amounts of uranium and plutonium contains the majority of fission products, corrosion products etc. and is a highly radioactive waste solution.
- the plutonium After washing the organic phase with dilute nitric acid, the plutonium is washed with an aqueous Bring back extraction solution while reducing the oxidation state of the plutonium selectively from the organic phase into the aqueous phase. Thereafter, the uranium still remaining in the organic phase (the majority of the fission materials) is also transferred to an aqueous back-extraction solution.
- the aqueous solutions of uranium and plutonium are then processed separately, for example with the help of two further cleaning cycles in order to be largely decontaminated from the fission products.
- the invention has for its object to provide a method with which in an extractive reprocessing process for irradiated nuclear fuel in a process step after the dissolution of the nuclear fuel, no matter at which suitable point in the process, uranium values from one of them, plutonium and fission and Organic extractant solution containing corrosion products can be transferred into an aqueous phase and at the same time separated from plutonium and from the cracking and corrosion products in a simple manner with a relatively high degree of decontamination.
- the method according to the invention should be applicable in the Purex process and there both in the first extraction cycle and in the uranium cleaning cycles. However, it should also be able to be used in other extraction processes in which uranium values are to be recovered.
- the aqueous, basic solution containing carbonate ions, with which the organic extractant solution is treated in process step a), can be a maximum of 2.5 molar CO3 ⁇ ions. However, in addition to CO3 ⁇ ions, it can also contain HCO3 ⁇ ions, a maximum of about 1 mol / l.
- Useful back-extraction solutions of this type have a pH from pH 5 to pH 11.
- the plutonium can be separated off, for example, by allowing the solution to stand or heating it, with the plutonium oxide hydrate and a subset B (B ⁇ A) of the cleavage products, etc., and then filtering or centrifuging.
- Any neptunium formed during the irradiation of the uranium in the nuclear reactor follows the path of the uranium in the process according to the invention.
- the aqueous solution from step c) is adjusted to a ratio of the uranyl ion concentration to carbonate ions / hydrogen carbonate ion concentration of 1: 5 to 1: 8.
- the aqueous solution from step c) is adjusted at a uranium concentration of 60 g / l to a ratio of UO3++ concentration to CO3 ⁇ / HCO3 ⁇ concentration of 1: 5.
- a basic anion exchanger such a polyalkene-epoxypolyamine with tertiary amino groups and quaternary ammonium groups of chemical structure RN (CH3) 2 ⁇ HCl and RN+ (CH3) 2 (C2H4OH) Cl ⁇ , where R is the molecule without amino groups, is used.
- the aqueous solution (step e) advantageously has a hydrogen carbonate ion concentration between 0 and 1 mol / l.
- the CO3 ⁇ concentration in the aqueous solution (Step e) is at most 2.5 M / l and the pH of the aqueous solution (step e) is in the range from pH 7 to pH 11.
- the process according to the invention can also be carried out in the absence of HCO3 ⁇ ions, but the process conditions can be set more easily if HCO3 ⁇ ions are present in the aqueous solution.
- the application of the method spans a large concentration fluctuation range of the uranium stream to be decontaminated. If the uranium concentration in the solution is very small compared to the carbonate concentration, so that, for example, a free CO3 ⁇ / HCO3 ⁇ concentration is higher than 0.6 mol / l, the excess carbonate excess can be optimized either by adding a mineral acid to optimize the fission product retention , preferably HNO3, destroyed or by adding eg Ca (OH) 2 a certain amount of carbonate ions can be trapped.
- the uranium distribution coefficient must be minimized by adding sufficient amounts of CO3 ⁇ / HCO3 ⁇ ions so that the fission product species are not displaced by the uranium from the ion exchanger.
- the desired separations can still be carried out at uranium concentrations of approx. 60 g U / l.
- the limitation of the process to higher U concentrations is due to the uranium solubility in carbonate-hydrogen carbonate solutions.
- a method for the separation of actinide ions from aqueous, basic, carbonate-containing solutions from German Offenlegungsschrift 31 44 974 was known, in which the actinide ions as carbonate complexes are adsorbed on basic ion exchangers and after separation of the charged ion exchanger from the starting solution with the aid of an aqueous solution are desorbed again by the ion exchanger and processed further, and in which a basic anion exchanger composed of a polyalkene matrix provided with predominantly tertiary amino groups and to a small extent quaternary ammonium groups is also used for the adsorption of the actinide ions, but this method is only meaningfully applicable to aqueous, carbonate-containing waste solutions or washing solutions etc.
- the main advantages of the method according to the invention are that the decontamination of the uranium from the fission products still present with a relatively small amount of the anion exchanger, e.g. in a relatively small ion exchange column, the ion exchanger loaded with the fission products (with or without a column) can be passed directly to waste treatment and disposal without intermediate treatment.
- the process according to the invention one or more times on further small anion exchange batches, a high degree of purity of the uranium to be recovered is obtained.
- the reprocessing and recycling of uranium in the nuclear fuel cycle eliminates the disadvantageous formation of degradation products of the extractant or the diluent in the extraction process.
- the method according to the invention is characterized by very reliable process control.
- the organic anion exchanger does not have to be brought into contact with corrosive or strongly oxidizing media in any phase of the process.
- the method according to the invention works with basic media which offer the highest possible security against the release of volatile iodine components.
- the solution used in the process according to the invention which can contain up to a maximum of 2.5 mol / l Na2CO3 and at a lower CO3 ⁇ concentration up to approx. 1 mol / l NaHCO3, is chemically very easy to control and radiation-chemical resistant. There are no corrosion problems.
- the outlay in chemicals, apparatus and working time is very low in the process according to the invention.
- the average fission product retention during a column run under the specified loading conditions was> 97% for cerium, zirconium and niobium; With ruthenium the retention was about 80%.
- moderately basic anion exchanger made of polyalkene-epoxypolyamine with tertiary amino and quaternary ammonium groups with the trade name Bio-Rex 5 (from Bio-Rad Laboratories, USA).
